Evaluation of the linear and volumetric measuring changes in different positions in CBCT.
Article in Clinical and experimental dental research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesThe effect of head position on reproducibility of volumetric measurements on Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans has not been evaluated before. Thus, this study aimed to assess the changes in linear and volumetric measurements on CBCT scans in different positions of the respective object. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this experimental study, 16 balls were placed in containers and underwent CBCT in neutral position and 8 different altered positions. The horizontal and vertical diameters of each ball were measured by OnDemand software while the volume of each ball was quantified by ITK-Snap software. The reproducibility of linear and volumetric measurements in nine different positions was analyzed by the Cronbach's α. Paired t-test was applied to analyze the difference in volumetric and linear measurements of the balls in the anterior and posterior halves of the scans in neutral position versus the upward and downward tilts, and right and left halves of the scans in neutral position versus the right and left tilts.
resultsThe Cronbach's α was found to be .982 and .933 for volumetric and linear measurements, respectively, indicating high reproducibility of the measurements. No significant difference was noted in the mean linear measurements on CBCT scans at different positions compared with neutral position. In volumetric measurements, maximum difference between neutral and the other positions was less than 1%.
conclusionsCBCT is a reliable modality for linear and volumetric measurements in different positions.
